Finding one to blame among the coaching staff is as futile as trying to pin the blame on one player. It was a collective effort for South Carolina's passing defense to look as bad as it did in the SEC Championship Game.[details]

2007 (Sophomore): Sophomore who figures to challenge Brandon Isaac for the starting role at the free safety position... saw action in 12 of 13 games in 2006 as a true freshman, both on defense and on special teams... credited with seven tackles... five of his seven stops came against Wofford... the other two tackles were recorded against Middle Tennessee.

2006 (Freshman): If he shows he's ready in fall practice, the opportunity is there to avoid a redshirt.

Stewart exhibits good instincts and reads the action in front of him. He displays a good initial step toward the ball but struggles to consistently take proper angles. He's aggressive and does a nice job disengaging the ball from on contact. He breaks down well in space as a tackler and wraps up well on contact. Stewart generates a lot of power on contact and consistently gets his man to the ground. He lacks ideal range, has only one gear and doesn't make many plays on the ball in the pass game.
